Time'	Narration
00:02	Welcome to the spoken tutorial on Switch case in Java.
00:06	In this tutorial, you will learn how to use the switch case construct in Java
00:11	For this tutorial we are using Ubuntu v 11.10 JDK 1.6 and Eclipse 3.7.0
00:21	For this tutorial, you should have knowledge of if else statement in Java.
00:25	If not, please go through the tutorials on these topics available at our website which is as shown http://spoken-tutorial.org
00:32	A switch case is used to perform actions based on the value of a variable.
00:39	Here is the syntax for a switch case statement.
00:44	Let us use it now.
00:47	I already have Eclipse opened.
00:49	I have created a class named SwitchCaseDemo.
00:53	Now Let us add some variables.
00:57	Inside the main method, we will create a variable day of type int.
01:02	So type inside the main method int day and we can give it a value equal to 3 semi-colon.
01:12	Now, let us create a variable dName of type String.
01:18	String dName we can linitialize it to null.
01:25	Here dName is a variable to hold the names of the days of a week.
01:34	day stores the day number.
01:36	Now, we will type the switch case statement.So next line type
01:43	switch within brackets day , then open curly brackets... Press enter
01:52	This statement defines which variable is under consideration for the cases.
01:59	Next line type
02:01	case 0 colon
02:04	Next line dName equal to within double quotes Sunday semicolon
02:14	Then type Next linebreak
02:17	This statement says that if the day is 0, then dName must be set to Sunday.
02:26	Note that a break statement must be used at the end of each case.
02:31	without the break statement, the switch-case functions in a complex fashion.
02:35	It will be explained in subsequent part of the tutorial.
02:40	Similarly, let us type the remaining cases.
02:45	Next line type case 1 colon
02:50	next line dName equal to within double quotes Monday semicolon
02:56	Next line type break
02:58	Then type case 2 colon
03:01	Next line dName equal to Tuesday then semicolon
03:06	Next line type break
03:08	Then next line case 3 colon
03:12	Next line type dName equal to within double quotes Wednesday then semicolon
03:18	Next line type break '
03:20	Thencase 4 colon
03:24	Next line dName equal to within double quotes Thursday then semicolon
03:32	Thenbreak
03:24	Then next line typecase 5 colon
03:37	dName equal to within double quotes Friday then semicolon
03:41	Thenbreak
03:43	Then case 6 colon
03:47	Next line type dName equal to within double quotes Saturday then semicolon
03:55	Then type break semicolon
03:59	Then close the brackets.
04:03	now Let us add a print statement and see the code in action.
04:07	So next line Type System dot out dot println within brackets dName then semicolon.
04:16	Now Save and run the file.
04:20	Now press Ctrl S and Ctrl F11 keys
04:25	we get the output as Wednesdaywhich is corresponding to the case 3.
04:31	Now Let us change the value of the day and see the result
04:35	SoChange 3 to 0
04:38	NowSave and Run tht file
04:40	As we can see, the output is Sunday corresponding to the case 0
04:46	Now what if there is no case corresponding to the value. So Let us see that
04 :52	change day equal to -1 Save and run the file
04:58	As we can see, there is no output.
05:01	But it would be better if we could have a case for all other values.
05:06	That is done by using the default keyword.
05:09	So After the last case, type
05:12	default colon
05:14	Next line dName equal to within double quotes Wrong Choice then semicolon
05:24	Next line break semicolon
05:27	We do not say case default;
05:30	Note that we simply use the keyword default .
05:34	Now let us run the code. So save and run the file
05:38	As we can see, the default case is executed and the required message Wrong choice is printed.
05:45	Let us try with another random value.
05:48	Change -1 to 15
05:51	As we can see, again the default case is executed.
05:57	Now let us see what happens if we remove the break statement.
06:01	So Let us change day = 15 to day = 4
06:07	remove the corresponding break statement for day =4
06:12	Now Save and run
06:15	Although the case is 4, we get the output as Friday and not Thursday.
06:20	because of the way switch case works.
06:24	First the value of day is compared with 0.
06:29	Then with 1 then with 2 and so on with all the possible cases.
06:34	When a match is found, it executes all the case from the match onwards.
06:42	In our case, it executed case 5 after case 4 .
06:47	Then it stops because of the break statement in case 5.
06:53	To avoid that, we need to add a break statement in each case.
06:57	Let us now add the break statement we have removed.
07:00	So type break semicolon.
07:05	Now let us run the code.
07:08	As we can see, now only case 4 is executed.
07:13	As a rule, remember to use a break statement in every case to avoid errors.
07:20	We have come to the end of this tutorial.
07:22	In this tutorial we have learnt how to use switch case construct and how to use break statement.
07:30	As an assignemet write a program that has a name and gender as a variable Use a switch case statement that prints “Hello Mr....” for males and “Hello Ms...” for females.
